Thanks for your replys guys, I see both of your points but I still need to get the name of the instance of the object, not a reference.
The reason for this beeing that I'm creating dom elements that has to be able to refer back to the the instance of the class whom created them. And there may or may not be many instances of the same class so it cant be done in any static way or with references as the dom objects have a different scope. The way I've solved it for the time beeing is passing the name of the instance upon creation as a argument of class initialization. That works great but it just looks stupid to me. A function or property refering directly to the name/objectindex of the obejct/class instance would be much more practical. There's functions for this but it's mozilla only (I think it's called object.constructor.name or something), and there's ways to do it in IE and possibly other browsers too but they're ugly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
